Seller's comments about 1932' Packard Model 902

Cruisin Classics is excited and proud to introduce to you this simply spectacular 1932 Packard Model 902 Standard Eight Coupe. Though one of the more affordable offerings in the Packard line ($2,655-3,450 when new) this coupe is like all Packards luxury cars that were highly refined, fitted with luxurious coachwork, and powered by proven engineering. We actually have a copy of the sales agreement from when this Packard was sold used in 1933 (just a year and a half after its production) by Washington Motors in Newton Massachussetts to a Mr. Ralph Laffey for $1,650 its amazing to see! This would have most certainly been a car for the upper class, in a whole different category than the Fords, Dodges, and Chevrolets of the day. Ninety-two years ago only 3,737 of these 902 coupes were made, making them quite rare today. This particular car comes with an appraisal from 2008 valuing it at $105,000 when it was in Ontario Canada. The most recent owner of this beautiful machine bought it in 2015 and immediately got started with restoration work that took several years to complete. We have a 3-ring binder filled with receipts that total $77,622.41 from 2015 to present. The engine and transmission were both rebuilt, the car was disassembled, the wiring was redone, the chrome was redone ($11,300 just for re-chroming), and the manifolds were coated in porcelain, and this just scratches the surface! The restoration was extensive, to say the least. The result of all of that work that sits before us today is an absolutely gorgeous example of a 1932 luxury automobile. Under the folding hood is the original 319.2ci inline 8-cylinder engine. The clearly legible engine number matches the engine number written on the receipt from its sale in 1933 to the second owner. The big cast iron block and all of its surrounding engine bay components have obviously been attended to it is like looking at it back in 1932! The engine was rebuilt by Beach Performance, a well-respected shop here in Ohio and there are a multitude of receipts documenting all of the upgrades under the hood. Many original parts were painstakingly rebuilt to keep this historic car as factory-correct as possible. The block is painted Packard Green and the engine bay and components are dressed in black and green with chrome accents. The intake and exhaust manifolds were coated in fresh porcelain during the restoration and they look absolutely great. The engine starts from cold with ease and purrs so quietly youll question if its running! The big 8-cylinder is mated to a 3-speed manual synchromesh transmission (also rebuilt) that shifts with ease as it sends power to the rear wheels. Take a look underneath this Packard to find that it was treated to the same level of attention as all other aspects of the car. The clean, green undercarriage is a testament to the caliber of the restoration. If youre looking for a collectible Packard (or any senior-level classic) then you are going to immediately appreciate the style and level of restoration of this 902 Coupe. Opportunities to own high-level examples of these cars dont present themselves very often, so dont let this one pass you by. This Coupe is in excellent running order and is ready to fire up and drive to a car show today. Give us a call today and be the next caretaker of this phenomenal piece of American automotive history!
